Top Speed

133 mph, that is plain crazy. The car no longer sound like a car but like an airplaine. How stable was the car at that speed?

alignment

Hey guys, were is the best place to get my car aligned in Fresno. It got new tires recently and the old ones were worn out on the insides.

That sucks, I have not been able to make any of the meetings. I look forward to doing the Christmas tree lane run if it is done this year, talk to you guys later.

Great. They look much better on my car than on yours. Goes well with the black and chromo package. Of course I had to clean them up, replace some screws, and a little touch up paint so when I see you I expect a dinner at Erna's.

Wrong. You better get a job. We are expecting you to pay. As a matter of fact I thought you should treat the whole MidCal Mini club to a dinner at Erna's. Does anyone else out there agree with me?
